Kuala Lumpur (monday, 30/6/2025) in Courtyard by Marriot Nina Reveal Facts about Pollution and Climate Change Impacts on Children in Indonesia |
(Kuala Lumpur, 30/6/2025)* – “As a young person, I feel ‘invisible’—my voice doesn’t matter and is ignored by the government,” said Aeshnina Azzahra Aqilani at the AICHR Regional Workshop on Gender Lens Perspective on Business and Human Rights in ASEAN, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from June 30 to July 1, 2025.
The Coordinator of Indonesia’s River Warrior Community further explained that, as a young victim of environmental pollution caused by the global plastic waste trade, Nina—Aeshnina’s nickname—has actively campaigned to stop the international plastic waste trade by writing letters to leaders of developed nations, urging them to halt waste exports to Indonesia. “The European Union even responded to my letter, pledging to stop plastic waste exports to Indonesia by November 2026. Yet, despite sending multiple letters, the Indonesian government has never replied,” Nina revealed.
